E17, Edje, and X

[Varean]

This is more of a Gentoo issue so I thought Id post it here. Recently I emerged the e17 libs and for some reason, my X session won't start. Ive traced the problem back to my edje library, so Ive decided to re-emerge it. However, when I emerge it, I get this error:

I dont really know how to work around this. Can anyone help me?

You should install media-libs/edje-0.5.0.013 (emerge =media-libs/edjge-0.5.0.013) instead of edje-9999. That package should be masked anyway and not allowed you to install it. You should make sure edje-9999 is removed before installing that version.


To make sure when you update your system this does not happen again you can make sure the mask on that package is set by doing:

echo "=media-libs/edje-9999" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Well, with my usual lazy attitude, I actually fixed this problem a bit ago. I had updated my E17 libs manually at one time, so they wrote over my emerged libs, screwing everything up. I just unmerged all the e17 deps and libs, and then just re-emerged everything.
